## Summary

The Birmingham City Council has awarded a contract for the provision of a website service aimed at enhancing the Foster Birmingham brand. The contract, valued at £22,275 GBP, was awarded to Design Integrity Group. The procurement process involved an open procedure with a tender period ending on 2nd March 2022. The contract is set to run for 2 years, with a further 12-month extension option, starting on 25th March 2022. Interested parties were required to register on the e-tendering system to participate, and the submission deadline was noon on 9th March 2022.

This tender for website design services provides an opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the web development industry. The Birmingham City Council's initiative aims to improve the recruitment and retention of fostering households through an independent website.

The contract period allows for a sustainable partnership with the contracting authority and supports the local community in West Midlands, United Kingdom.

## Notice

Foster Birmingham is working towards achieving our Statement of Purpose vision of providing fostered children "...with safe and secure environments in which they can thrive, fulfilling their aspirations" through the provision of an independently hosted website that sets the Foster Birmingham brand apart from its competitors. Recruitment and retention of fostering households goes a long way to achieving a financially successful service, allowing more money to be reinvested in support for the families and children in our service instead of paying the high costs of placing a child with an independent fostering agency. We are interested in seeing options for a refresh of the current Foster Birmingham logo but are constricted by budget from completing a full rebranding exercise, therefore consideration would be taken when scoring applications that do not address this desirable requirement. This contract will be for a period of 2 years commencing from the date of signing with an option to extend for a further 12 months. The Council will be using its free to use e-tendering system (in-tend) for the administration of this procurement process and potential suppliers must register with the system to be able to express an interest. If you wish to express an interest in this opportunity please click on the following link to access https://in-tendhost.co.uk/birminghamcc/ and submit your details to register. You will then be sent details on how to log on which will enable you to download all relevant quotation documentation. If you are unable to register with In-tend or have any questions or problems on how to use this web site please either email us at: cps@birmingham.gov.uk Your completed quotation submission should be returned by noon on 9th March 2022 via the 'in-tend' system https://in-tendhost.co.uk/birminghamcc
